Kells & Around

Welcome to Kells & Around

Kells (not to be confused with Kells in County Meath) is a mere hamlet with a fine stone bridge on a tributary of the Nore. However, in Kells Priory, the village has one of Ireland's most evocative and romantic monastic sites. The village is 13km south of Kilkenny city on the R697.
